Taiwan-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines and the Los Angeles Dodgers today announced STARLUX’s new “Proud Partner” designation with the MLB team for the 2023 season. The new deal comes on the heels of STARLUX’S announcement of its first transpacific flight to Los Angeles debuting April 26.
With the philosophy that luxury should not be the exclusive experience of the elite but readily available to everyone, STARLUX’s new partnership with the Dodgers underscores the international carrier’s commitment to the people of Los Angeles, its first North American destination city and the Dodgers’ homebase.
As Proud Partner, STARLUX will have a permanent pavilion roof sign at Dodger Stadium and other in-stadium signage located on the loge middle and outfield wall. Beginning June 1, a variety of Dodgers-themed amenities will also be provided on STARLUX LAX-TPE flights, such as themed meal packaging, playing cards, eye masks, luggage tags, and boarding passes.
“As a new airline entering the U.S. market, we are very happy to cooperate with the Los Angeles Dodgers,” said STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai. “This will not only bring Asian fans closer to this popular sports team, but also let the fans of the team know STARLUX Airlines. We will be able to promote our service from Taipei to the many major cities in Asia, and to take the high-quality local brands on board our flights to the world.”
“The Dodgers are pleased to welcome STARLUX Airlines to our partnership family and we look forward to the launch of their new Los Angeles flight,” said Corey Norkin, LA Dodgers Senior Vice President. “The Dodgers have a rich history across Asia and welcomed the first Taiwan-born player to the team in 2002, so we are beyond thrilled to welcome our first Taiwan-based airline more than 20 years later. This partnership will give Dodger fans across the globe an opportunity to experience the best of Dodger Stadium and STARLUX Airlines throughout the season and we’re honored to be partnering with them.”
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a century-old team that has won World Series championships many times in MLB history. The team is iconic for the City of Angels and one of the most popular sports teams in Los Angeles with a large fan base, showing the strong sports culture of LA.
